I do not photograph mushrooms normally. Tried some natural light stuff here and there, but do not have the patience for it. But that artificial light really elevates it and has me tempted to try it again! Lovely images and video!
Thank you! I don't usually photograph mushrooms either. But I've been getting into it a lot lately. And it's really fun to play around with lighting too. I'd give it a go!
Hi Jamie, some wonderful images and a good explanation of what you're doing and why you're doing it. I have the OM 1 mk 1 and the Olympus 60mm macro lens, and your videos are telling me to get out and use it more. Keep up the good work 👍
Welcome to the fascinating world of Fungi Jamie. Sunlight is your worst enemy and flash not far behind especially with smaller fungi. A small reflector is ideal and subtle use of low powered led also. A little gardening is good and you can always reposition twigs and small branches to achieve a better background. Enjoy
One question Jamie, I know 60 mm Olympus breathes a lot, at least to the point that creating a stack is impossible, the same Sony 90 mm macro. But does 90 mm OM system breathes too? Be serious. It's a lot of money, and it's hardly to try it out, as I can't rent it in my country.
@@JamieSpensley I am not the macro expect, but seems to me logicaly, that macro rail is the only option for excluding breathing and doing perfect stack?

Another great video Jamie. Love your detailed explanations of what your are doing. Fantastic images.

you look like mr beast if he were british and never had any drama following him. what cameras are you using?
Well done. Lighting technique reminds me of method used by YT’er Daniel Aucoin of Canada. Have you seen his channel? Cheers!
Hi, the L bracket you link to is for the EMii/iii Is it the same you’re using with the OM1 and if so is it a good fit?
Thanks!
Yes that's the one I'm using. It fits good
@ Thanks!
when you start the stack where do start your focus please
Just before my subject to make sure I don't miss any frames

The 90mm also breathes, but only a bit less than the 60mm. I have done many stacks with both the 60 and 90 and the difference is only minor
